FRENCH FISHING VESSEL IN ST. IVES BAY St. Ives, Cornwall.—For several days before the 2nd of May, 1947, the French motor fishing vessel L'Entente Cordiale, of Lorient, had been anchored in St.

Ives Bay, and had been a cause of anxiety during a series of northerly f ates, as her engines had broken down, he had a erew of eight on board.

At 5.15 in the afternoon of the 2nd when a north-easterly gale was blowing, with a heavy swell, the coastguard, reported that she was three-quarters of a mile south-south-east of St. Ives Head and was in danger of being driven ashore. The motor life-boat Caroline Oates Aver and William Maine was launched at 5.35, and brought ashore six of the crew, leaving behind the engineer-owner, and the captain. They had no food and the life-boat put out again to them with some. She found that now they were anxious to leave their vessel, and she brought them ashore getting back to her station at 8.30 that evening.—Rewards, £17 Is..
